Industrial Slabs in Rowlett, TX

Dallas-Fort Worth industrial developers demand concrete slabs that support heavy machinery, racking systems, and 24/7 operations. Our ACI 360R-compliant industrial slabs deliver the flatness tolerances and joint spacing needed for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers across North Texas.

Industrial slabs require engineering precision that supports manufacturing operations, racking systems, and material handling equipment. As your general contractor, we deliver industrial slab work for developers and property owners building distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and logistics operations throughout the DFW metroplex.

Our industrial slab work achieves the flatness tolerances specified for modern warehouse operations. We use laser-guided screeds, systematic finishing processes, and independent testing to deliver FF/FL numbers that satisfy racking suppliers and equipment manufacturers.

Joint layout is critical in industrial slabs. We coordinate joint locations with your racking plans to ensure saw cuts do not fall under rack uprights where they cause maintenance problems. Our crews execute precise joint timing that controls cracking while maintaining straightness.

Industrial floor concrete mixes are designed for durability under heavy loads and wheeled traffic. We work with ready-mix suppliers on appropriate mix designs that achieve specified strength, control shrinkage, and provide long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What FF/FL tolerances can you achieve?

We routinely achieve FF 35-50 and FL 25-35 on industrial slabs using laser-guided screeds and systematic finishing processes. Higher tolerances for VNA (very narrow aisle) racking are available with appropriate specifications and coordination.

How do you coordinate joint layouts with racking systems?

We work from racking layouts to position saw cuts away from rack uprights. Joint locations are coordinated before concrete placement to ensure proper spacing that controls cracking while avoiding rack bases.

What concrete mix designs do you use for industrial slabs?

We work with ready-mix suppliers on mixes designed for industrial applications, typically 4,000-5,000 psi with fiber reinforcement and shrinkage-reducing admixtures. Mix designs are adjusted for specific project requirements.

Do you provide flatness testing and documentation?

Yes. We coordinate independent flatness testing using dipstick or F-meter equipment. Testing results are documented for your records and to verify specified tolerances are achieved.

Can you work around operating facility schedules?

Yes. For slab work in existing facilities, we develop phased placement sequences that maintain operations. Our project managers coordinate closely with your facility team on timing and access.

Industrial Slabs Overview

Frequently Asked Questions

Industrial slab construction in Rowlett, TX requires specialized engineering for heavy loads and strict tolerances. Here are answers to common industrial concrete concerns:

What flatness tolerances do you achieve for industrial slabs in Rowlett, TX?

We consistently deliver FF 25-50 flatness and FL 15-35 levelness per ASTM E1155, suitable for most industrial equipment. Higher tolerances (FF 15-35) are available for precision manufacturing operations.

How do you handle moisture issues in industrial slabs in Rowlett, TX?

We install 10-15 mil vapor barriers per ASTM E1745 and conduct calcium chloride testing to ensure moisture levels stay below 3 lbs/1000 sq ft/24 hrs. Our warranty requires annual moisture monitoring.

What joint spacing do you use for industrial slabs in Rowlett, TX?

Joint spacing follows ACI 360R guidelines: 24-30 feet for interior joints and 1.5 times slab thickness for perimeter spacing. We use dowel bars and load transfer systems at all construction joints.

How do you accommodate equipment pads in industrial slabs in Rowlett, TX?

We coordinate with equipment manufacturers for isolated pads with thickened sections and proper reinforcement. Pads are designed per UBC load requirements with additional rebar for point loading.

What testing do you perform on industrial slabs in Rowlett, TX?

We conduct slump testing, air content verification, 28-day compressive strength testing, and F-number verification. All testing follows ASTM standards and is performed by ACI-certified technicians.

How long does curing take for industrial slabs in Rowlett, TX?

We implement 28-day moist curing per ACI 308R, with plastic sheeting and curing compounds. Light equipment loading begins at 7 days, full loading at 28 days with documented strength verification.
